“You don’t just look out the windows in the twin towers. You feel as if you are part of the panorama that sweeps out in any direction…. [I]t is an intimacy with the seascape of Lake Michigan, the continuously changing sky, the winding shoreline and the shadows and lights of the spires and jagged cliffs of Chicago’s skyline.”
Ann Little, Chicago Tribune, April 11, 1986
Landmark. Icon. Classic. Words that are firmly attached to any description of 860|880 Lake Shore Drive. Once you are here, you’ll add some others. Convenient. Wonderful. Home. The Mies van der Rohe designed residences are known for their floor-to-ceiling windows and airy spaces. Their enormously flexible interior construction makes renovations easy and cost-effective.
You’ll find a perfect amalgam of modern architecture and vibrant—not to mention beautiful— setting unlike any other in Chicago. Watch as a thunderstorm explodes over the lake, witness the ever-changing ice sheets ceding to spring and revel in the byzantine blues of summer. Nature at your doorstep.
What’s more, it’s located just steps from the Magnificent Mile and some of the finest shopping, dining, entertainment and cultural attractions that Chicago has to offer. 860|880 offers residents an experience of city living at its best.
